Physico-chemical and pharmacological studies of some transition metal complexes with 2-cis-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-al

摘要

Acyclic monoterpenoids from complexes with many transition metals. 2-Cis-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-al (citral) form complexes with VO(II), Cr(II) and Mn(II). Stereochemistry of the complexes has been studied by physico-chemical methods. Ligand and its metal complexes have been found effective as antiprotozoal, insecticidal and antifungal.The control drugs ampicillin (10 #mu#g/mL) and streptomycin (5 #mu#g/mL) show 22.00 mm and 18.00 mm effective concentration respectively against E. coli and 26.00 mm and 24.00 mm against S. aureus respectively which is according to NCCLS standard.
